Real Estate matters - lessons from a jeopardy champion. Jeopardy champion James Holzhauer is current news icon, demonstrating finesse and detailed memory. Hard work and focus win the day. Breaking the record of the #1 champion ever is a Holzhauer primary goal. Practicing on other game shows and winning was merely preparation. Holzhauer is a competitive bridge and sports gambler. How one spends time and money is similar to placing a bet. We all have limits on both. Lower... value bets are good for practice. Higher value bets enable greater returns. Daily double bets are opportunistic and winning the final jeopardy answer combined with placing the right bets throughout the game the ultimate challenge. Real estate locations are all over the board. Want highest returns- go to neighborhoods near universities, hospitals and financial centers where demand is steady and tenants tend to be more reliable and able to pay higher rents. Daily double? Redevelop properties in the high demand areas where profit potential through redevelopment or repurposing buildings is highest. Final jeopardy answer? Careful - you want to preserve capital and leverage money earned in new developments. Betting your entire stake is a gamble best not taken. Best lesson from Jeopardy champion Holzhauer- Control the board! Keep investing and leveraging a diversified portfolio of investments. Always remember to enjoy the game! See more

Overheard today 37% of the over 100,000 deaths have been in nursing homes. 67% of all nursing homes were found to have had safety violations. Discharging seniors from nursing homes to go home seems sensible. Covid is a game changer for seniors.
